Saw this 914 at the PCH GArage in Sunset Beach this am. Story is the car was in storage for 20 years. Very clean except for the primer on the rear trunk and a small dent on the pass side. Owner is local.

Thanks for noticing. I purchased the car a little over a year ago from the original owner that had passed away. The car had been sitting for over 20 years so over the past year I have brought her back to life. Im not happy about the body work on the trunk. The guy that delivered the car to me wenched the car on to a trailer. The cable broke and the car rolled off and hit another car. Without telling me he went and had someone do a pretty poor job in repairing. That is also why the taillight is incorrect. desperate times called for desperate measures.
As for the ding in the passenger rear quarter panel, that has some history. The previous own was an avid ski'er and would go to Tahoe every weekend. Well he had hit some ice back in the 70's and hit a snow bank. I have all the estimates to get it fixed back then. Currently the car is running great but wanted Hector to do the tune up on it just to check my handy work. The next step is getting the rust repair at the jack holes. I have new stainless side skirts that were never put on. So after Hector is done working his magic I will be looking for someone local to take care of that for me. I look forward to seeing you guys on the open road now that I have her running. |
